1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNAs which regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. miR-155 is encoded by the miR-155 host gene (miR155HG), also known as the noncoding B cell integration cluster (BIC). MicroRNAs are widely expressed in various hematopoietic cells and are involved in regulating the immune system. In this review, we summarized how miR-155 modulates specific immune cells and the regulatory role of miR-155 in sepsis. miR-155 is expressed by different populations of innate and adaptive immune cells and is involved in the regulation of development, proliferation, and function in these cells. Sepsis is associated with uncontrollable inflammatory responses, accompanied by unacceptably high mortality. Due to the inadequacy of diagnostic markers as well as treatment strategies, treating sepsis can be a huge challenge. So far, a large number of experiments have shown that the expression of miR-155 is increased at an early stage of sepsis and that this increase is positively correlated with disease progression and severity. In addition, by blocking the proinflammatory effects of miR-155, it can effectively improve sepsis-related organ injury, providing novel insights to identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for sepsis. However, since most of the current research is limited to animal experiments, further clinical research is required to determine the function of miR-155 and its mechanism related to sepsis.
